Demotivators

MOTIVATIONAL PRODUCTS DON'T WORK. BUT OUR DEMOTIVATOR® PRODUCTS DON'T WORK EVEN BETTER.

When we started Despair, we had a dream. To crush other people's dreams. But we knew, given our goal, we'd be in for a fight. After all, the Motivation Industry has been crushing dreams for decades, selling the easy lie of success you can buy. That's why we decided to differentiate ourselves- by crushing dreams with hard truths!

Foresight

Those who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those busy proving them right.

Consistency

It's only a virtue if you're not a screwup.

Winners

Because nothing says "you're a loser" more than owning a motivational poster about being a winner.

Underachievement

Because soaring with the eagles requires so much more effort.

Execution

It's not just the ability to put a plan into action, it's our solution for those who lack that ability.

Retirement

Because you've given so much of yourself to the company that you don't have anything left we can use.

Sacrifice

All we ask here is that you give us your heart.

Sanity

Minds are like parachutes. Just because you've lost yours doesn't mean you can borrow mine.

Teamwork

A few harmless flakes working together can unleash an avalanche of destruction.

Compromise

Let's agree to respect each others views, no matter how wrong yours may be.

Mistakes

It could be that the purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning to others.

Hope

May not be warranted at this point.

Challenges

I expected times like this - but I never thought they'd be so bad, so long, and so frequent.

Irresponsibility

No single raindrop believes it is to blame for the flood.

Government

If you think the problems we create are bad, just wait until you see our solutions.

Legacy

It took millions of years to create something this extraordinary. You have about seventy-four.

Give Up

At some point, hanging in there just makes you look like an even bigger loser.

Mediocrity

It takes a lot less time and most people won't notice the difference until it's too late.

Aspiration

I hear the call to do nothing and am doing my best to answer it.

Wishes

When you wish upon a falling star, your dreams can come true. Unless it's really a meteorite hurtling to the Earth which will destroy all life. Then you're pretty much hosed no matter what you wish for. Unless it's death by meteor.

Competence

If You Can't Learn to Do it Well, At Least Learn to Enjoy Doing it Badly.

Distinction

Looking sharp is easy when you haven't done any work.

Dream Small

It's your only hope for success, really.
